Chiefs More touches for Jamaal Charles

They are going to ride him into the ground.

Last year for Charles?

-----------
Chiefs to increase Jamaal Charles' touches 48m Why Alex Smith’s stats may increase soon
By LORENZO REYES
Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles is already one of the NFL’s most productive backs, but expect his numbers to increase.

Kansas City offensive coordinator Doug Pederson told the Kansas City Star’s Randy Covitz that Charles’ workload is likely to increase in the next couple of games.

“He’s a guy who steadily wants a little more each week, a little more responsibility, and the more he gets comfortable in our system and what we’re asking him to do, we’ll put a little more on his plate,” Pederson told Covitz.
“He’s so explosive, and we want to be able to use him in that fashion and create matchups in our favor.”

Charles is second in the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 775, behind only LeSean McCoy, who has 871. He ranks first in the NFL in touches with 347 (114 carries, 33 receptions) and also has seven touchdowns.

If Kansas City does give Charles an increased workload, it could open up the Chiefs offense for QB Alex Smith. It’s always odd when coaches indicate what their strategy might be for upcoming games, so this could be misdirection on Pederson’s part. If Charles does receive more carries, however, defenses may bring additional men into the box trying to neutralize him.

Smith, who is tied for third-worst among NFL starters in yards per completion with 6.2 yards, may have more chances to throw the ball downfield. WR Dwayne Bowe, who only has 229 yards and two touchdowns on 20 receptions, could be one of the bigger beneficiaries of Charles’ increase in touches.
What does Charles think about the larger workload?

“This is probably the best I’ve felt since week one,” hetold the Star. “I hope I can continue to feel like that. I’m not worrying about how many times I touch the ball. I’ve been doing this for years, and it doesn’t matter to me. As long as the ball is in my hand, I’m up for whatever.”

Larry Johnson set the single-season NFL record in rushing attempts in 2006 with 416 while in Kansas City. We don’t expect Charles to put up those numbers, but if the Chiefs coaches do increase his workload, he may be on the pace for MVP-caliber stats.

If that does happen, however, opposing defenses won’t be caught off guard. They’ll already know.

Enjoy Charles now, because if they keep this pace up, he wont be worth a shit next year

Contrarian · 10-17-2013, 05:39 PM

Dude... no sweat. We got Kniles Davis to pick up when Charles breaks down. He is gearing up with a solid 14 touches through 6 games. Oh, and his promise to never fumble again. Ehhh.... he gets a do-over.

If not... MJD may or may not be available for a song. SWEET.

Pasta Little Brioni · 10-17-2013, 05:42 PM

He's getting less than 20 carries a game. This isn't running LJ up the center's ass 30 times a game.

Exactly!

Hammock Parties · 10-17-2013, 05:46 PM

Yeah I'm sure our OC is going to tip his gameplans in advance.

Dumbass Star.

We are playing shit teams...likely he will have fewer touches.

I hope you're right, but he's taking a lot of abuse and we know how fast the drop off happens with RB's

OH THE HORROR OF GETTING OUR MOST PRODUCTIVE OFFENSIVE PLAYER MORE TOUCHES

Pasta Little Brioni · 10-17-2013, 05:48 PM

Has he even had 25 carries in a game yet? I remember he had like 35 against the Aints last year.
